Default C4 install Pics ???? Advise
Let's see some audio install pics.
I'm trying to get a few idea's for my install. My listening tastes are for sound quality.

I already have my Alpine CDA-9856 HU. I also have the Metra Install kit 99-3051 and a scosche gm02b wire connector. I still need an antenna extension because my stock amp is in the storage bin.

My speakers
CDT - HD series - I'm not sure yet...

Amps
2 Soundstream (old school) I have on a shelf so I might as well use them.

Sub
1 Soundsplinter 8" - new in box from a friend.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks in advance

Tom

I would consider a mount and faceplate from Vrum Vrum. Much nicer that plastic.

Sounds like some decent stuff.. my suggestions:

Vrum Vrum Headunit mount.. worth every penny


As for Speakers.. The CDT sound nice for the front..

I would do 2 8" subs in the stock rear locations and be done
